Rapid developments in technology, communication, industrial organization, economic integration, political
reforms and international trade have made it increasingly imperative to recognize the causes and effects
of strategic interdependencies and interactions. A strategic approach to decision-making is crucial in
areas such as trade negotiations, foreign and domestic investments, capital accumulation, pollution
control, market integration, regional cooperation, development and implementation of new technology,
arms control, international resource extraction, network sharing, and competitive marketing.
Since its inception, game theory has contributed significantly to the foundations of decision-making. As
socio-economic and political problems increase in complexity, further advances in methodology,
techniques, empirical investigations and applications of game theory are called for. International Game
Theory Review (IGTR) has been initiated in response to this need. Addressing and reviewing designs,
problems, solutions, and applications pertaining to the game theoretic analysis of strategic decisions,
IGTR aims at maintaining a balanced interest between theory and applications. Game theoretic reasoning
possesses a vast potential in social, economic, political and military affairs, and game theory can be
advanced and enriched by the investigation of issues drawn from real-world decision-making.
IGTR is a refereed quarterly journal published by World Scientific. It emphasizes rigorous analysis, and
will offer up-to-date insights and perspectives through original research in game theory and its
applications. It welcomes game-oriented papers from all fields of study. IGTR will publish both original
articles and state-of-the-art surveys, and will seek to maintain a balanced orientation between
game-theoretic modeling and practical implications. Theoretical significance as well as empirical
relevance are key criteria for acceptance of an article, and IGTR will be accessible to readers from a
wide range of disciplines. IGTR will feature:
- Regular articles on theory, methodology and application of games;
- A 'Notes Section' for short papers, technical notes, communications, comments and critiques;
- Case studies that enhance the understanding of the practice of decision-making;
- Contributions that address issues pertaining to communication and interaction between
researchers and policy makers;
- Papers dealing with numerical analysis, simulations, computational algorithms and computer
software.
